eBay is significant as a large Web business and all such businesses have a stake in viable partnerships related to China. Two of the posts below reference that. The third is in the spirit of Mildred Purse which speaks for itself.

Boehner: Chain Smoker, Deluxe Traveler, National Menace. If I was central casting, I would not think twice. Boehner fills the bill for a chain-smoking, high living national menace. And it isn’t funny. It’s scary

Boehner’s Disaster of a Plan – A Recipe for Democratic Victory in November. If Boehner’s disaster of a plan is enacted, we will face massive increases in unemployment and further bleeding of the middle class.

Mildred says that all she has to do is look at Cantor standing behind the Speaker to know he is up to no good. She jumps to the aid of John Boehner, believing him much maligned by his own close associates.

These posts will not save you from the dangers of random poisoning and other mishaps that accompany the ingestion of food as an inevitable consquence of our need for nourishment. But they do carry a warning or two.

In a world going global, food safety requires regulation. In a world awash in oil, we need to think about the relation of food and energy

Mildred Purse goes for the grit in the headlines, far beyond the typical news-gatherer’s ken. She finds this disturbing piece of important information and thanks Abba that Greenpeace is keeping us honest while everyone else lies.

This is an open invitation to all to schmooze my profile at Yahoo Contributor Network aka Associated Content.

Why?

Because it represents a model for anyone who believes as I do that eventually most people will be paid via the Web and that most of what is transacted will be transacted on line. In such a world the only way to get paid is via a system of micropayment that is keyed to factors that are largely impossible to calibrate on a blog. I moved to Associated content for precisely this reason.

But it was hardly the only or most important reason.

I wanted a place where I could, over time, organize my work and make it easily searchable. There is no better platform for this than my profile page.

I also made the move to gain traffic for my posts. I would estimate that over all traffic has doubled.

This is not a huge advance relatively speaking, but it is progress.

So please schmooze my profile and leave a comment here to tell me what you think.
